Sometimes I don't use the clutch, most of the times I do, always use it 1st to 2nd. I do agree it seems easier if one of my bud's attempts to go by me. As far as Vester's pull being close to stock. I rode my stock 96in RG this weekend and got on friends 103 07Dyna with only a SE spring and the pull was noticably harder on the Dyna, and yet even harder on my Dyna with Evo Ind. clutch running 6 80lbs. springs, no vpc. Vester how much pressure are you running with your clutch setup, being with an almost stock pull?
I am very interested in using this vp92t clutch set-up on my 09 roadking when I do the FM 107 kit with heads, etc....
What I really want to know is, How HARD is it to pull at the higher rpms with the stock tc96 spring.... unbearable? I dont like the idea of banging gears in a quick accel, I rebuild my race bikes enough.....
I've got a vpc 92 for sale with 1200 miles on it, if anyone wants to try one. Going to run a SE spring with the stock clutch when I do the 107 on my RG this winter. If it doesn't hold, I'll order some better plates and try to keep the clutch pull easy instead of an even stiffer spring.
I have the original stock clutch in my 1990 Glide, the only mod being a Barnett spring, to deal with my S&S 107" and 107TQ. I also use a Diamondback cable to reduce lever effort. That amount of torque shouldn't need much investment to deal with!

So, The stock spring out of an '09 wont hold the power of a FM 107 with heads??? Even with the vp92 clutch??? I understand that I would probably be fine with stock plates and a spring, but don't really like the idea of the increased pull, plus I would be doing the OCCASIONAL launch, and wheelie...
I know the stock plates and spring now slip at high rpms with just 75hp 94lbs/tq with the D&D baorzilla, SE heavy breather, and SEPST.....
